Another injectable
testosterone compound which is used in power sports
circles is Testosterone suspension. In the following we
will describe the testerone dissolved in water. For
athletes who readily and frequently work with the popular
oily testosterone suspensions (Sustanon 250 or
Testosterone Depot) this information might be something
new. Besides, water-dissolved tes-tosterone was actually
the first injectable steroid. In Europe during the 1940's
injectable testosterone was used in the German armed
forces to increase aggressiveness and stamina, and also in
the recov-ery of undernourished prisoners of war. This was
nothing else but crystalline testosterone mixed with
water. Russian weightlifters be-gan experimenting with
this testosterone compound during the late 1 940's and
broke one world record after another. Since, at the time,
pure testosterone without additional esters was used, the
substance remained in the body for only a few hours
requiring daily injec-tions, and often several per day By
first injecting the testosterone molecules with an ester,
such as for example isobutyrate (in Agovirin), it was
possible to prolong the duration of effect up to about one
week.
Since testosterone is dissolved in water the substance
reaches the blood after only 1-2 hours so that it is
unnecessary to wait longer for results, a circumstance
that is advantageous to powerlifters. In the last one or
two weeks before a competition testosterone suspen-sion is
injected daily, often resulting in amazing strength gains.
Of-ten Testo -suspension is even injected on the day of
competition to increase the athlete's aggressiveness and
self-esteem in order to ap-proach the difficult tasks with
the right attitude. For this purpose, this rapidly
effective testosterone is considerably more effective than
methyltestosterone (see chapter "Methyltestosterone").
Among East European powerlifters and competing
bodybuilders Testo-suspen-sion has always been a
"last minute secret." Especially women can
reliably change their estrogen/testosterone ratio to break
down excessive water and to give softer muscles a visibly
better hard-ness in a short time. Female bodybuilders
usually have consider-ably greater difficulty in getting
their calves and upper thighs in contest condition than
their upper bodies. Often you see a female bodybuilder on
the posing platform with striated pecs, delts and triceps,
whereas her lower body appears flat and soft. For several
reasons the estrogen level can be too high, leading to an
increase in the hormone aldosterone. Since aldosterone
regulates the body's own water household-meaning the
higher the aldosterone level, the more water is stored by
the organism-it is important to keep the aldosterone level
as low as possible. Finally it is known that women by
nature store fat and water mostly in their upper thighs.
An optimal form for a competition requires a high an-drogen
level with a minimal estrogen level. Women who on the day
of competition never obtain the right muscle hardness can
usually achieve a significant performance enhancement by
in-jecting 25-50 mg Testosterone suspension daily during
the last 1-4 days before the competition.
However, men also use Testosterone suspension during the
last 10-14 days before a bodybuilding competition to make
an all-out effort for optimal muscle hardness. Athletes
report outstand-ing results when Testo -suspension is used
together with the car-bohydrate/loading technique. The
athlete unloads his body by depriving it of carbohydrates
for several days and begins loading carbohydrates three
days before a competition with the goal of storing as much
glycogen in the muscle cells as possible. He can optimize
this process by taking 5 0-100 mg Testosterone suspen-sion/day.
Testosterone suspension considerably boosts the stor-ing
of glycogen in the muscle cells and, since dissolved in
water, becomes effective almost immediately. As is known,
glycogen also bonds with water in the muscle cells, which
manifests itself in extremely tight and full muscles.
In the mass-gaining phase Testosterone suspension is only
rarely used. With respect to strength and muscle mass the
gains, as with all injectable testosterone esters, are
very good; however, this testosterone compound requires
frequent injections in order to reach a
performance-enhancing dosage. With 100 mg every 1-2 days
rapid muscle gains can usually be obtained and the
strength increase can usually be felt from the first day.
However a stale effect remains since the injection of
testosterone dissolved in water is not only extremely
unpleasant but the pain at the injection area remains for
some time. To endure such martyrdom for several weeks is
not to everyone's liking. The gains disappear rapidly
after use of the compound is discontinued.
As for side effects, the same is true for Testosterone
suspension as it is for other testosterone esters. A
considerable part of the com-pound is converted into
dihydrotestosterone in the body so that acne and hair loss
occur quite frequently. The endogenous test-osterone
production is already considerably lower after only a few
days of use which during a several week long intake could
result in testicular atrophy and temporary impotence.
Women experience the usual virilization symptoms. An
enormously in-creased sexual drive in both sexes is noted,
often from the first day of intake. The same can be said
about the influence of Testo suspensions on the aggression
potential. Men are also at risk to develop a prostate
condition or possible gynecomastia.
Since steroid molecules do not easily bond with water,
Test-osterone suspension must be well shaken before the
injection. Those who let the injection rest for more than
30 minutes with-out touching it will notice that the
testosterone separates from the watery solution in form of
a white, crystalline powder. After shaking, an opaque,
white mixture is formed in the ampule. |
